Deicing System Troubleshooting. A typical
troubleshooting chart for deicing systems is shown in
table 9-4.
d.

Patch installation Install patches using
the following procedures:
(a)
Thoroughly clean affected area,
using methyl ethyl ketone, ASTM D 740.
(b)
Buff affected area until
completely roughened.
(c)
Clean buffed area with a clean
cloth completely dampened with methyl ethyl ketone.
(d)
Select a patch of ample size to
cover damage.
(e)
Apply one coat of Goodrich 60
cement, or equivalent, to damaged area and patch, and
allow to dry thoroughly (5 to 10 minutes).
(f)
Reactivate
both
cemented
surfaces with a cloth dampened with methyl ethyl
ketone, and apply patch to deicer shoe, starting at edge

(2)
Cold patch limits. Limits for cold
patching are as follows:
(a)
Cuts up to one inch on deicer
shoes attached with fairing strips.
(b)
Cuts up to three inches in length
on deicer shoes attached with cement.
9-15. Fire Detection and Extinguishing Systems.
Fire detection and extinguishing systems are explained
in the following paragraphs.
a. Fire Detection Systems. The fire detection systems
are designed to detect the presence of fire in zones
such as engine compartment and combustion-type
heater compartment, and to light a red warning light in
the pilot's compartment in event of fire To detect fires or
overheat conditions, detectors are placed in the various
zones to be monitored. Fires are detected in aircraft
using one or more of the following:
